Thanks! I found a different example too:
import ConfigParser
import string
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read("/home/fab/.abook/addressbook")
# print summary
print
for number in [2,200]:
print string.upper(config.get(str(number), "email"))
print string.upper(config.get(str(number), "name"))
print string.upper(config.get(str(number), "city"))
print string.upper(config.get(str(number), "address"))
but the problem seems to be that abook does not write every
field, so I get an exception when there is a field missing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "configparser-example-1.py", line 13, in ?
print string.upper(config.get(str(number), "city"))
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ConfigParser.py", line 520, in get
raise NoOptionError(option, section)
ConfigParser.NoOptionError: No option 'city' in section: '2'
Section 2 looks like:

Is there a workaround?
Greetings!
